They fix a Kconfig dependancy on the USB/IP drivers that Randy Dunlap
found, and they add a second Kconfig option, which enables the staging
drivers to be automatically excluded from a 'make allmodconfig' or 'make
allyesconfig' build. This last patch will help out the -next tree a lot
in its automatic build tests.

Staging: only build the tree if we really want to
Staging: make usbip depend on CONFIG_NET

Which purpose is the STAGING kconfig variable serving after this? It
controls the visibility of the menu, but switching it off won't switch
off the staging drivers if they were previously enabled, would it?

Try it and look in wonder :)

If something affects the visibility of the menu for those config
options, it controls if those options can be enabled or not.

Right. But if you had STAGING on, STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD off, and for
example ET131X on, then ET131X will still be on if you switch STAGING
off and save the configuration.

I think Linus fixed this, look at 2.6.28-rc4.
